so im ok till 2022? :roll:

If they were willing to take your money for membership up through 2022, then they had damn well better be willing to hold up their end of that transaction, so yes. If they are not willing to do that, I'd question the legality of it. It should not have been an option if they don't have the intention to honour it.

i guess ill wait for their answer..here in Greece we say :you have the knife and you have the melon as well..so its up to the 10c..i ll wait ..i hope they deside something fair,i already have an idea,but ill tell them after they answer me.

I think that they should keep your benefits as they are now (ie you get the Deep & the vinyl, etc as you have paid upfront for those) BUT you should also get the T-shirt for free every year to reward you for your faith that the band will still be rocking in 12 years time! The free download is not important

happy new year Rita..i hope you had less problems than the big one to become digital or analog memeber?>

I don't have to worry about it until March

Though, taking out all the 'emotions' of this and looking at it from a purely numbers against goods point of view, for the same price, one is getting much less (so say, you want to purchase a 6-pack of beer but find that for the same price, you only get 4). For a 100% increase, you get what you normally had for 1/2 the price the day before plus another item that you may or may not be interested in (so, if I want my 6-pack of beer, I need to pay double what I used to pay BUT I get a 'free' can of Coke, that I may or may not drink).

I understand that things are more expensive, etc. Fairer would be lower the cost of a digital membership, or even keep it at the same price as current membership to reflect increased cost of living (as you get less and there is less work/expenses involved) and increase the cost of the 'normal' membership (with benefits as they are now) by a reasonable amount (just like goods in your normal shops). If people want to get a 'special' T-shirt, offer them in the goods section - there will be plenty of takers!

Good point... although I made my friends when the board was free and I wasn't a member of the 10C I probably wouldn't have made those friends had there been a price on the board.

i met you at the Manchester pre-party at 2009..was organized here

I'm sure I found it through facebook besides... it was in a pub... I would have found it eventually

You should have just drunk a coffee refill from her cup Dimi!

Sure, $20/$25 for the year is no big deal for most. It's just the principle and the fact that if you want to continue receiving what you are currently getting, it's a 100% increase. I think that's what rubbing people the wrong way. Already the board isn't open to all fans anymore....

The membership for me is a chance of getting some pre-sale tickets. Obviously for Europe seniority is not an issue as it's GA, but at least it's an extra chance of scoring tix. Though when they played Dublin, I got general sales tickets. With my husband needing seating (and registered disabled), the 10C were not 'able' to accommodate. Also, with venues here, when I go with my husband, I can go free (companion ticket). So no advantage to 10C tix for me really.

i met you out of the venue that night for the 1st time

I think it’s reasonable, $20 for this membership has been cake.

Another $20, if it’s going to break your bank, then you’re not budgeting your money properly and probably should be spending it on other essentials.

I’m analog all the way.

Another good point. It's amazing to me how there are so many people (not you people) mismanaging their finances. I have a friend who complains about not being able to keep up with shows, and all things Pearl Jam. If the guy would stop spending $100 + a month on cigarettes, he'd have no problem. It's all a matter of preference here people. If you can get past your anger, you have freed up your ability to think your way through your dilemma. Or just not renew and be done with it.

Who's angry? I can certainly afford the extra $20 but no way would I pay it. How other people manage their finances is nothing to do with anyone else. Too many people are so quick to judge and say 'people should do this' or 'people should do that'. You mustn't smoke or you wouldn't judge an addict so easily. I no longer smoke but, when you do smoke, you don't consider that money as extra income to spend on anything else. I may renew, who knows? But don't you or anyone else tell me what to do or decide how I best manage my money. I tell you one thing... I will NOT be splashing out $50 on a silly fan club 2 months before my wedding.

Only $20... my arse :roll:

no comment :roll:

Can you people please keep the noise down I am trying to sleep here, it is 3.20am and you keep waking me.
Please stop arguing, shhh!
